With Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney making the word "Mormon" more prominent in the eyes of Americans, there may be greater interest in this weekend's 182nd Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The two-day conference begins with a two-hour session at 10 a.m. Saturday. A second two-hour session will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday will also feature sessions at the same times. Additionally, there will be a priesthood session for male members of the church who are 12 and older at 6 tonight.
